It’s HOLIDAY time!!! Holidays mean travelling and kids may love holidays, but what they don’t like is sitting in a car for 4 hours twiddling their thumbs. Let’s face it, their sense of time is non-existent. We’ve all made the classic ‘are we nearly there yet?’ joke, but for some parents, this is actually no laughing story.

These awesome pencil toppers (made from pipe cleaners) are an easy and quick craft to do with the kids this summer holiday. Most of the materials you probably already have knocking about in your craft box, but if not don’t worry as we have everything you need to make this line up of funny characters. First things first, kick your imagination into gear and decide which animal you’re going to make (or just make up a whole new creature), then gather your materials.

So School is OUT! We’re sure you’ve bought your teacher an appreciation gift, but we think it’s the little ones who need a thank you for all their hard work and good behaviour this term. As such, why not put together a little box of rewards for them to enjoy over the Summer holiday, filled with all their favourite things?
